~Voices of the Lost~
My name is missing, though I have a face.
My name is vanished, and I need a voice.
My name is lost; I yearn to be found.
I am but a number.
Though people have seen me,
Though people have heard me,
Though people have mocked me,
I am not acknowledged.
I am cold, depressed and lonely, though I am surrounded by people.
My swollen eyes have looked on, straining to see the sun rise on yet another
day.
My parched, scarred skin speaks volumes of the actions of the soulless.
People look onward.
Around me
Behind me
Above me.
Struggling to not recognize me.
I have prayed.
I have begged.
I have pleaded.
To be seen and heard.
As a human.
As a life.
As a person.
Is it for nothing?
You make the decision.
You disregarded us while we were here.
Will you let it happen yet again?
Think about it.
